  1. hi..
    soft tissue attenuation does not necessarily mean that it is a tumour. Over it, the location of the soft tissue mentioned in the report isnt common for tumors to occur. This can be a simple soft tisue growth from the surrounding structures. The ent specialist will guide you better. But for, me ,it doesnt seem to be a tumour. Do let me know what the doctor has to say.
    thanks

  2. HI
    TUMOUR IS JUST A POSSIBILITY. THERE ARE MANY OTHER SUCH SIMILAR LESIONS THAT MAY SHOW SIMILAR FINDINGS ON A CT.
    THE FINDINGS SHOULD BE CORRELATED CLINICALLY WITH THE SYMPTOMS. SUCH LESIONS HAVE GOOD PROGNOSIS
